Chapter 144: The Ghost Descends on the City
Volume 2 Demon Troubled Times Chapter 144 Ghosts Coming to the City
Of the people who went out to look for ghosts, there were two groups that were surrounded by all of them, and less than half of them were able to break out of the encirclement in the end. Everyone's mood became very heavy.
Originally, I entered the ghost domain to kill ghosts, but now it seems to be a bit like ghosts premeditated to besiege humans.
There are still a few groups that have no news now, I wonder how they are doing?
For the first time since entering the town and having the town as a safe base, everyone felt the crisis.
"According to the brothers guarding the town, we have expanded the patrol area, first, to pay attention to the safety of the perimeter, and secondly, to find and search for other groups of people in time. ”
"Yes, yes, we're patrolling in four directions in teams of two, and I hope the other groups are okay, hey!"
After a while, everyone decided to wait for news from the other groups first, and at the same time strengthen their vigilance.
In the evening, it was indeed the middle of the night, and another group of men returned.
They were even worse, with only a few surviving. Unlike the previous two groups, they were divided into four squads and scattered to search for ghosts. The first two days went well.
"On the fifth day, all of a sudden, countless ghosts appeared out of nowhere, overwhelmingly killing us, and we hurriedly sent a signal for help, only to find that there were four signals in succession. ”
"All four of us in the squad were in the same situation. While killing, everyone gathered in the middle according to the original plan, and then worked together to break through. But we tried our best, and in the end, there were only a few people who could escape. ”
Another group of centaurs was damaged, and everyone's mood was extremely low.
"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged, those ghosts are all in a gang, and they are being commanded to run around to commit crimes and besiege us."
"yes. Besides, we still have a few more groups. When everyone gathers together, there are more people, and they are not afraid of what kind of ghosts. ”
"That's right, the worst of all, we still have this town, it's a safe place for ghosts to dare not approach. ”
Everyone cheered each other on, comforted themselves, and then dispersed to do their own thing.
The next day, another group of men and horses sent out to find ghosts retreated to the town. Their situation is very different from the previous three groups. They walked northwest of the town for four or five days, and they didn't even touch a single ghost.
They continued to expand their range, and they had been searching in the desolate Gobi, but they couldn't touch ghosts, so they almost thought that they had simply walked out of the ghost domain and walked on the Gobi of the Five Elements Continent.
After discussing it, this group of people didn't dare to investigate further, so they had to come back to see everyone's situation first. Everyone was relieved to see that there was finally a group of people who were not besieged. The got wasn't big enough to besiege all the groups.
Now there are only two groups of people left and there is no news yet.
From the conversation, Tu Tian learned that among the remaining two groups, Shi Zhanfei, Chen Jifeng and others happened to be in one of them. Tu Tian guessed that there were only more than ten people when he met Shi Zhanfei and the others that day, and they should have been divided into teams again.
Judging from the situation at that time, Shi Zhanfei and the others should not have encountered the siege of ghosts. The direction they searched for happened to be Tu Tian all the way over.
Tu Tian didn't encounter a group of ghosts along the way, so from this point of view, it was unlikely that their group would encounter a group of ghosts in that direction.
By the afternoon, the other two groups had finally returned. None of them had anything to lose, and like the group that had returned earlier today, they had barely encountered any ghosts.
In one of the groups, Tu Tian saw many familiar figures, including Chen Jifeng, who fought with Tu Tian that day, and of course, Shi Zhanfei and the people who were watching the battle at that time.
Chen Jifeng seemed to have improved his injuries a lot, and walked in front with Shi Zhanfei.
"Chen Jifeng and Shi Zhanfei have close contacts, you have to pay attention. In addition to Chen Jifeng's own cultivation, he also has a senior brother named Chen Feipeng, who is one of the two senior brothers in the Spirit Ancestor realm who rescued us this time. ”
Shi Wenxin walked to Tu Tian's side and admonished softly.
In this regard, Tu Tian just smiled indifferently, although the Spirit Ancestor Realm was powerful, it was not strong enough to make him afraid. It's just that my current physical condition is not optimistic.
"Fortunately, the cyan internal energy in the body can be condensed into small strands, and it can be used to travel throughout the body, which can speed up the repair of the body. As long as it is restored to its peak state, it is not without the strength of the Spirit Ancestor to meet it. ”
Chen Jifeng saw Tu Tian and saw the Frost Sword on Tu Tian's back, although it was wrapped in cloth, it was needless to say that it was definitely the Frost Sword. But he just turned his face away in some embarrassment and didn't say much.
Instead, Shi Zhanfei secretly glanced at Tu Tian a few more times, and quietly asked someone about Tu Tian's situation.
When he heard that Tu Tian was seriously injured when he came to the town, he even regretted his intestines: This guy is really the end of his strength, if I had a little more horizontal in my heart at that time, I would have been able to save face back then, I was really stupid.
Everyone came back, and everyone was together to exchange information. On the one hand, I am happy to be able to save the three complete teams, at least it shows that the ghost thing is not as powerful as I thought before.
On the other hand, there are also signals that this is a crisis. Because among the groups of people who went out, there were almost no ghosts in the north and south directions. The east and west sides are under siege by ghosts.
What does this mean? This shows that the attacks of the ghosts are organized. They gathered the ghosts on the north and south sides to the east and west, so that they could be more trapped and less trapped, and this was to be broken individually!
"The thing is, these ghosts seem to know everything about our whereabouts, so they must have some special way of mobilizing them. Someone questioned.
"Tu Tian once said that when he came, he encountered a serpentine ghost snooping in the direction of the town. Could it really be the eyeliner that the ghost has buried a long time ago?"
"Quite possibly. I think we'll have to be doubly careful in our next steps. ”
"Shall we send someone to contact Chen Feipeng and Liu Zhenzhi, tell them about the situation here, and listen to their opinions. ”
"They probably have gone deeper into the Ghost Domain, and they can't find them. ”
Everyone was gossiping, coming up with ideas and trying to find a way.
In the end, everyone decided that after a day's rest, except for leaving twenty people to guard and take care of the sick, all those who still had combat effectiveness would attack to the east, concentrate their forces, and first chase and kill the ghosts there, and then turn around and chase down the ghosts in the west.
"Yes, we also learn from ghosts, concentrate superior forces, and defeat each one. Everyone applauded in unison for the scheme.
However, before everyone could set off, the situation suddenly found a change.
In the middle of the night, the disciples of the five sects who were on guard were suddenly surprised to find that there was a ghost figure flickering within their line of sight, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to come and see.
At first, there were only one or two of them, but then there were more and more of them, as if they were lined up not far away.
"Everyone, pay attention, there are more and more ghosts outside, I don't know what they want to do. ”
"Behind, you see, there are also ghosts accumulating in the back!",
"No, it's on all sides, on all sides. They're already approaching the ruins of the outer city, are they going to attack this town?"
"There are one or two hundred ghosts that can be seen in every direction, and there are some that cannot be seen clearly. How many ghosts are here?"
There were bursts of panicked cries from the crowd, and they gradually began to spread their worries.
"Don't panic, everyone, my senior brother said that those ghosts don't dare to approach the town. They surrounded us for a while at most. Chen Jifeng stood up at this time and said loudly.
This sentence really worked, and everyone's mood settled down a lot. For Chen Feipeng's strength, everyone can see it, and of course everyone believes what he said.
In the crowd that had settled down, people began to think about countermeasures.
Someone directly proposed: "Didn't we say earlier that we should concentrate our superior forces and destroy each of them? Now that the ghosts are divided into four directions, we are just right, concentrate all our forces, and forcibly rush to kill one of them." ”
Everyone felt that it was reasonable, and the fighting spirit was even higher.
"They seem to be waiting for something, and I think they should go out and fight while they haven't established themselves yet. ”
"Yes, that's it, it's still divided into three large groups, the two groups are responsible for blocking the support at both ends, and the middle group is responsible for killing with all their might. The injured people stayed and took care of each other. ”
"Okay, how about everyone concentrate their superior forces and rush to kill the ghosts in the east with all their might?"
With everyone's advice and advice, a complete set of battle plans was soon formulated.
After assigning the group, everyone quickly rushed out of the town and quietly killed the ghosts to the east.
When those ghosts saw that the humans had rushed out, they also screamed and rushed head-on. Soon, people on both sides were fighting together. For a while, the sound of killing sounded in the sky.
One side mostly uses spiritual weapons, and the spiritual power is poured into the room, and the other side uses bone claws, and the dead air is surging, and the black mist is filled. In terms of fighting alone, where are those ghosts the opponents of these five faction elites.
The first few losses were all because the ghosts besieged them on all sides with several times their strength.
Now, in the north and south adjacent to the east, the ghosts closer to the battlefield are intercepted by two groups of humans, and the strength of the ghosts in the east is only about 200.
The number of elite disciples of the five factions who were responsible for killing the ghosts in the east head-on also reached nearly a hundred. This time, the advantage in the number of ghosts is not obvious.
In addition, since several encounters, everyone has exchanged experiences with each other, and has summed up a lot of ways to deal with ghosts, and it is no longer like before, in the face of strange attacks from ghosts, panicked.
So as soon as the two sides fought, humanity had a clear advantage. In a few moments, the ground was full of bones, with broken bones everywhere and cracked heads everywhere.
Because Tu Tian's body has not fully recovered, he was arranged to stay in the town with Shi Wenxin and others, taking care of other seriously injured people, and observing the movements of ghosts on the other hand.
After seeing the one-sided advantage on the battlefield outside, everyone cheered. Tu Tian noticed that the ghosts of the other three parties seemed to have given up their support and quickly moved closer to the center of the north and south.
